Growing tips

Germination after 7-12 days at 15-20°C. Protect from heavy frost. Direct sowing is also possible from April, but the harvest is somewhat later. Some plants can be planted out until November. Harvest as soon as the shoots have developed but not yet opened. Harvest the central sprout first, this promotes the growth of the remaining sprouts. (Source: Saatgut-biene.de, magicgardenseeds.de)
